Homeschool Creations has some super fun and super cute Valentine's Day activities for preschoolers. One that I tend to enjoy is a simple size-sorting worksheet. It's on pages 14 and 15 of the Preschool Pack available here:
MODIFICATIONS: This takes just a little bit of preparation beforehand. First, you need to cut out the pictures of Cupid on page 15 and put them off to the side. Your little one will be sorting those later. You'll also need to cut out the, "Small," "Medium," and "Large," labels from page 14. Go ahead and glue each of those to the top of a sheet of blank paper. This way, your kiddo has very clear and distinct areas where he will be placing each group of Cupids and they won't chance getting mixed up or confused. Something else that might be beneficial would be to print out an extra picture of each size Cupid and add it to the size labels, giving your child a good visual to compare his Cupid's, too, since he probably can't read the labels at this point. Glue is something else to consider for this activity, as well. On the one hand, you can't keep doing the activity over and over if you glue the pieces. On the other hand, kids love glue and it is fantastic fine motor practice and small muscle strengthening and all of that good stuff. It would also help the keep the pieces sorted and not getting accidentally knocked off the papers as you kiddo works and he can keep it to look at it at a later time. All just thoughts to consider when you're thinking about what is going to work best for your specific child. Have fun!
